Product Description

Designed specifically for pilots, boaters, and other outdoor enthusiasts, the Bad Elf GPS Pro is the next generation of GPS Receiver and Dataloggers for the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. Connect up to 5 supported devices at a time via Bluetooth!

You might think that an external GPS isn’t necessary when using your iPad in your plane. However, an external GPS is critical even if your iPad has the internal assisted GPS, because the assisted GPS uses cell towers to create its initial fix, whereas the Bad Elf GPS Pro uses satellites.

Perfect for Jet Pilots, General Aviation Pilots, or Road Trips

Real-time GPS data can be shared with the entire crew from a single GPS Pro sitting on the glareshield or in the side window. General aviation pilots can use iPhones or iPod touches as a backup for charts on your iPad and switch instantly without re-pairing or connecting. You can even share GPS data with passengers in the cabin or on road trips with the entire family. The Bad Elf GPS Pro is great for connecting up to 5 devices at a time!

Large LCD Screen with Backlight

The Bad Elf GPS Pro features a large LCD screen with a blacklight to provide great visibility day or night. Easily view your location, speed, heading, altitude, and GPS lock status at a glance. You won’t need to decode blinking LED indicators or leave your favorite app to check the status of your GPS receiver.

Extra-Long Battery Life and 10Hz Reporting Rate

The Bad Elf GPS Pro provides up to 16 hours of battery when connected to your iOS device via Bluetooth. The device also supports a GPS reporting rate of 10 times per second! If you put the accessory in standalone datalogger mode and turn off Bluetooth, you can even expect 32 hours of battery life.

Standalone GPS datalogger (100+ hours)

Record all your adventures without draining the battery of your iPhone or iPod touch! You don’t need to keep an app running, simply start and stop the GPS Pro’s datalogger with a simple button. If you discover something memorable, simply mark your current location as a point of interest (POI) with another button press. At the end of your activity you can transfer the log to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to view your trip and share it through email, Facebook, or Twitter.

Rugged and Splash-Proof to IPX4 Standards

Take your Bad Elf GPS Pro on any adventure! Its compact size (3” x 2.5” x 0.7”), rugged exterior, and splash-proof resistance makes this GPS capable of surviving any journey- meanwhile allowing you to show your friends just how amazing the trip was.

Works with All Location-Based Apps

Since it meets all requirements under Apple’s MFi program, The Bad Elf GPS Pro works great with any location-based App from the App Store. To simplify your search for the best apps, the Apps that work well with the Bad Elf are categorized by your favorite activities and all major flight planning and aviation chart Apps have been tested with the device. Some of the supported apps include: Jeppesen Mobile FD, ForeFlight, WingX Pro7, i1000 Flight System, iChart, and Air Navigation Pro.

Works great with my JeppsFD-Pro

I just used my Bad Elf for the first time on a flight across the Atlantic and it worked great on my iPad with JeppsFD-Pro. I also downloaded the Bad Elf app on my iPhone and it also worked just fine. The battery life is amazing and I'm although I haven't tried it yet, I'm looking forward to using it with the "CityMaps2Go" app on my iPhone to be able to track taxi drivers and find places to eat on my layovers. There are a ton of different apps that it will work with in flight and on the ground.

Excellent GPS

I bought the Bad Elf to replace a Dual Bluetooth GPS that quit working. The display on the Bad Elf is nice, but the real bonus is that it will connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously (like two IPads). This is great for me because I like to have a backup set of charts on a second Ipad. Battery life appears to be good. However, I found that on my 182 the supplied cigar lighter adapter makes RF interference in COM frequencies, so battery life is important - I can't just leave the unit plugged in. The radio interference when plugged in is my only complaint. The noise shows up on both Garmin 430 and King 155, so I don't think it is a radio problem.

Great tool!

This GPS is an amazing tool! We use it on the boat with an ipad and the Navionics app in the Florida Keys and it is always spot on. We have navigated at night using only the GPS and Navionics app. The bluetooth connects quickly and easily. So glad we upgraded from the Bad Elf that plugs into the ipad :-)

Awesome piece of gear!

I purchased the Bad Elf to use with mu iPad mini and Foreflight. It integrates perfectly and provides GPS position info lightning fast! Once locked onto the satellites I place it in the sleeve pocket of my flight suit and still see accuracy of about 5 meters. It's small and light and does exactly what it says it does. Battery life is as advertised and charge time is reasonable.

Outstanding Product

Purchased this device to supplement the built in iPad GPS which couldn't "find" its position in the corporate jet I fly. The Bad Elf Pro had no problem locking on to the full complements of satellites through the thick glass. Acquired present position in less than a minute and was able to use multiple aviation apps including JeppFD Pro, Foreflight and FltPlan Go. Battery life is wickedly long. I used the GPS on a 5 hour leg and the battery indicator hadn't moved off of "full bars"!

My only gripe is that the plastic face scratches very easily. Use care.

This is by far the best GPS for use with Jeppesen Mobile FliteDeck. You're also able to simultaneously connect multiple devices to the GPS, unlike the cheaper Bad Elf GPS.
